GRAPH SETTINGS 


 

GRAPH SETTINGS ( graphPicture ; xmin ; xmax ; ymin ; ymax ; xprop ; xgrid ; ygrid ; title {; title2 ; ... ; titleN} ) 
Parameter Type   Description
graphPicture  Graph variable, Picture variable in Graph area or Picture variable
xmin  Longint, Date, Time in Minimum x-axis value for proportional graph (line or scatter plot only)
xmax  Longint, Date, Time in Maximum x-axis value for proportional graph (line or scatter plot only)
ymin  Longint in Minimum y-axis value
ymax  Longint in Maximum y-axis value
xprop  Boolean in TRUE for proportional x-axis; FALSE for normal x-axis (line or scatter plot only)
xgrid  Boolean in TRUE for x-axis grid; FALSE for no x-axis grid (only if xprop is TRUE)
ygrid  Boolean in TRUE for y-axis grid; FALSE for no y-axis grid
title  String in Title(s) for graph legend(s)

GRAPH SETTINGS changes the graph settings for graph displayed in a form. The graph must have already been displayed with the GRAPH command. It can have been drawn using the 4D Chart plug-in (graph is a graph variable or a 4D Chart area reference) or by the SVG engine (graph is a picture variable). GRAPH SETTINGS has no effect on a pie chart. This command must be placed in the form method or in an object method belonging to the form, or yet again in a project method called by one of these two methods.

The xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax parameters all set the minimum and maximum values for their respective axes of the graph. If the value of any pair of these parameters is a null value (0, ?00:00:00?, or !00/00/00!, depending on the data type), the default graph values will be used.

The xprop parameter turns on proportional plotting for line graphs (type 4) and scatter graphs (type 6). When TRUE, it will plot each point on the x-axis according to the point’s value, and then only if the values are numeric, time, or date.

The xgrid and ygrid parameters display or hide grid lines. A grid for the x-axis will be displayed only when the plot is a proportional scatter or line graph.

The title parameter(s) labels the legend.
